ANN ARBOR -- Much of Nik Stauskas' NBA fate will be decided in the next few days.

The week will open with the former Michigan star meeting with his representatives from Priority Sports, a sports agency headed by Mark Bartelstein.

At that time, the determination will be made which NBA teams Stauskas wants to work out for.

That will coincide with the NBA lottery unfolding on Tuesday, when the draft order is formulated from picks No. 1 through No. 14.

Following last week's NBA draft combine, Stauskas is projected in the bottom half of the lottery, from 8-through-14. During three days at the combine, Stauskas met with Detroit, Sacramento, Minnesota, Phoenix, Oklahoma City, Memphis, Milwaukee, Boston, Golden State, Toronto, San Antonio, Denver, Atlanta and Houston.

Tuesday's lottery will determine which team picks where on June 26. The lottery order and odds of landing the top pick are as follows:

Prior to landing at U-M, Stauskas spent two years at St. Mark's School in Southborough, Mass. He played against current Celtics president Danny Ainge's son in both high school and in AAU competition. Ainge mentioned remembering Stauskas from the games when during their meeting at the combine. Additionally, current Celtics coach Brad Stevens has long known Michigan assistant LaVall Jordan, dating back to their time at Butler.

"My interview with them was actually really short, but very positive," Stauskas said. "They had a lot of good things to say about me."

Boston representatives also asked Stauskas to draw up a play on a dry erase board. They wanted him to map out one his favorite plays from Michigan.

"They kind of put me on the spot," Stauskas said.

Did Stauskas take the shot in this play?

"Of course," he said.

What was the play?

"I can't let it out, man, I might get a call from coach (John) Beilein," he jibbed.

How did the play end?

"It ended with a two-man game between me and Jordan (Morgan) on the wing," Stauskas said.

Though Stauskas did not interview with the Bulls, the 6-foot-6 shooting guard could meet with Chicago in the coming weeks.

"They have a really great coach in Tom Thibodeau and I know he would definitely challenge me on the defensive end, but I just fell that it would be a great environment for me as well," Stauskas said.

As for Toronto, the 2014 Big Ten player of the year has repeatedly expressed interest in playing for the team he grew up watching. Stauskas' brother is currently a Raptors season-ticket holder.

"I think they really like me," he said. "They all had good things to say about me. They want to see my willingness to play defense, but other than that, everything was pretty positive."

Stauskas was pleased overall with the interviews in Chicago, even though there were a few curves. A Minnesota representative caught him off guard by asking how many pennies are in a million dollars. He answered correctly, saying 100 million. Then during a Thursday meeting with Memphis, he was asked an intricate, wordy math equation.

"I don't think I got it right," Stauskas said.

He did, however, fare well in other aspects at the combine.

"As for the top wings, Michigan's Nik Stauskas and Creighton's Doug McDermott really shined, as well," ESPN draft analyst Chad Ford wrote. "Stauskas was especially impressive. He measured with a 35.5-inch max vert, a 10.79 lane agility score, a 2.92 shuttle run and a 3.27 sprint. Those were all very good numbers and should boost his draft stock."
